We have implemented the functionality described in this ticket. It will be included in our next update(s).

Please check back and leave a comment to this response to let us know whether or not this solution addresses your concerns.

Additional information:

The Document.DefaultTabWidth property has been implemented. It is used to set the default tab stop width measured in units specified by the Document.Unit property.
The property is validated before the value is set. If validation fails, the System.ArgumentException is thrown.

C#
// Set the default tab width to 5 mm.  
richEditControl1.Unit = DevExpress.Office.DocumentUnit.Millimeter;  
richEditControl1.Document.DefaultTabWidth = 5f;  
Visual Basic
' Set the default tab width to 5 mm.  
richEditControl1.Unit = DevExpress.Office.DocumentUnit.Millimeter  
richEditControl1.Document.DefaultTabWidth = 5F

Valid ranges for each measurement unit are listed below:
DocumentUnit.Inch 0.014 - 22
DocumentUnit.Millimeter 0.35 - 558
DocumentUnit.Centimeter 0.035 - 55.8
DocumentUnit.Point 0.98 - 1584
DocumentUnit.Document 4.1 - 6600
